Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Suffering London: Or the Hygiene, Moral, Social, and Political Relations of Our Voluntary A story is told in some book - I forget what - of African travel how the voyager once came upon a poor old woman lying under the shade of a rock, at the point of death. She had been left there by her children and her grandchildren because she was old and feeble, and could do no more for herself or for others. The traveller offered her food and drink. She refused, saying that they would only prolong her sufferings: she wished to die before the vultures and the jackals came and tore her to pieces; she bade the stranger go on his way, and leave her there to die: which he did. As this old woman died, so died all those of her own people whose lives were, unhappily, prolonged beyond the time of their strength.
